What’s in those Genes? How Pharmacogenomic Testing Can Improve Health Outcomes

Pharmacogenomic testing is becoming more popular and accessible, as it can provide insights for patients and their health care providers on which types of medications may work best and which should be avoided. Clinicians and patients recognize that not every person responds to drugs in the same way; some drugs carry a risk of adverse reactions that often seem to occur by chance. As the public is becoming more familiar and intrigued by genomic testing, how can health plans harness this interest to positively affect the health outcomes of its members? Speakers in this session will address this topic, and discuss the innovations that are making a favorable impact.
